Rising Nakshatra Masculine Nativities Kita * Thrikketta BPL commentary For Jyeṣtha births of a masculine valence, the condition of conversational, discursive, explanatory, instructional, argumentative, commercializing, evangelical Kumara may considerably affect the outcome. For those born into the Budha-ruled paradigm of Varta, siblings, cousins, schoolmates, bandmates, team-mates, entourage, ensemble, neighbors, managers, cohort, coterie, collaborative group, publishers, messengers, merchants, commercial agents, reporters, writers, scripts, plans, schedules, instructions, radio-television-internet, news-media, conferences, committees, discussions, travel itineraries, and texts may be especially influential.

Distinctive features of the nativity
Surya * pitri-karaka (father) * jyoti-karaka (light)
FATHER Dad was a businessman Surya in bhava-3 with investments in coal and railways. James Roosevelt had earned a law diploma from Harvard University, but he did not practice the trade. Rather, he used his legal knowledge to advantage in business. Dad clerked for POTUS-15 Oregon Treaty 1791-1868 James Buchanan when Buchanan was US minister to the Court of St James (US ministry to UK). Shortly thereafter, having received a substantial inheritance, he never again practiced law. Dad and Mom were friends of POTUS-22-24 Interstate Commerce 1837-1908 Grover Cleveland and were regular guests at the Executive Mansion (Whitehouse) during both of Cleveland's separate terms of office. The Roosevelt family's wealth and political connections were many generations deep. Dad was widowed and remarried. FDR was the child of Dad's late second marriage. FDR Career Karmesha Surya-3 + Budha = The Business Side of Institutional Governance FDR earned praise for his service as Under-Secretary of the Navy 1913-1920. His administrative skills were complimented by military and government superiors. They observed that FDR understood the commercial aspect of Navy business, such as billing, procurement, and supply chain procedures. When WW-2 forced intense engagement of US military forces across the globe, FDR's Navy background proved valuable. It was said that "the Navy has a friend in FDR". Skillful messaging in times of crisis Karmesha Surya-3 located in the crisis-managing 8th-from-Chandra Surya became the angel (3, evangelism) of fear-reducing radio messages as he commented upon the terrifying collapse of "life as we knew it" during Great Depression and WW-2. Every word that was spoken in those traumatic times had to be very carefully crafted (3). Chandra * matrikaraka (mother) * garha-karaka (village)
MOTHER Mom = Sara Delano. She was said to have been secretive, threatening, invasive, and manipulative Chandra in classroom-8. She was also very wealthy and socially connected. Said to have been intensely jealous of FDR's interests, she lived until FDR was nearly 60 years old. Her controlling influence upon his life choices was second to none. Somana-yuti-Kuja his lagnesha. Mom openly expressed her dislike of ER, but she threatened to disinherit her only child FDR from the family fortune (effectively preventing his expensive political ambitions) if he divorced Eleanor. nichha-Shani drishti into matrikaraka Chandra-8 constrains (but does not prevent) FDR's ability to follow-through on his Somana-yuti-Kuja sexual-emotional impulses FATHER and DOCTRINE * Chandra activates pitristhana Chandra-8 activates bhava-9, effective draining dharmasthana of much of its power. FDR had no particular doctrinal affiliation nor principled ideological agenda. His father was by all accounts a benevolent and caring man who spent time with his son but due to dad's advanced age and health frailty, dad was a weak figure far dominated by FDR's much-younger mother.

Roosevelt matches D-1 Vrischika-Chandra of POTUS-pair-32 Learn by Living 1884-1962 Eleanor Roosevelt

Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd POTUS-32 Fireside Chats Franklin D. Roosevelt fell in love with his wife Eleanor's private secretary Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd.2nd-from-Chandra-8 indicating 2nd marriage is marred by nichha-Shani drishti upon Chandra in 12th-from-9th ++ Chandra-yuti-Mangala-randhresha = mandate to secrecy . According to the memoires of close observers (including his son) FDR wanted to marry Lucy. When she discovered the affair shortly after delivering their sixth child. POTUS-pair-32 Learn by Living 1884-1962 Eleanor Roosevelt offered a divorce. Deep conflict and trauma (8, Kuja) around their situation. First of all, FDR's wealthy mother threatened to disinherit him if he divorced. She wanted to keep the money in the family and that meant staying with his cousin ER. Second, Lucy as an observant Roman-rite Catholic would not marry a divorced man indicating the dilemma of Shukra-doctrine-9. Historians agree that FDR enjoyed a number of women companions during his tenure as POTUS-32. Yet, his love for Lucy seemed unbreakable. She married another, and remained legallywed for 24 years until she was widowed, but the love link with FDR was sustained secretly (8) for decades. FDR called for Lucy and she arrived to accompany his last few days before the dematerialization, concluding a Shani-cycle relationship which spanned 29 years = 1916-1945. Kuja * bhratru-karaka (brother) * virya-karaka (virile)
Kuja-yuti-Chandra creates a significant dhanayoga in any bhava. However, emotionally, this combination in bhava-8 can be both secretive and explosive. Chandra in Mrigashira-Invaka contributes a remarkable ability to communicate about terrifying topics (8) in a dynamic but emotionally accessible, plain-spoken fashion that nearly everyone in his audience could understand. FDR was the communicator-in-chief during a series of extreme emergencies for the third-century USA including the Great Depression and WW-2. His unprecedented three terms of office spanned a dire and fearful time of realized and pending disasters (8) . A bloody world-war during FDR's leadership years, provoked by Germany-Nazi 1889-1945 Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler. Kuja activates 6-war containing Shani-Guru-Meza-blood-war At the end of the administration, of POTUS-31 Challenge to Liberty 1874-1964 Herbert Hoover, the public banking system had collapsed, and treasuries were once again hidden in private reserves. The deep suffering of millions of Americans was tangible to all during the continuing Great Depression. FDR was not able to fix the problem completely, but he was able to communicate with the public on matters of fear, terror, and sudden eruptions of unexpected force. These trauma event patterns were familiar to him due to the patterns of his personal life upheavals, especially from dealing with his mother. Kuja activates Rahu in BOTH vṛścika 10th navamsha + vṛścika 10th dazamamsha intensely secretive power surging with eruptive danger FDR was a master of personal and professional secrets. In 1916 FDR started his first and most passionate affair with ER's secretary Lucy Mercer. FDR's subsequent affairs were not hidden from Eleanor, nor hers from him. Yet, their joint and separate adventures were camouflaged by a skilled publicity-management team, including secretaries devoted to each of the partners individually. Since they did not divorce, the public remained utterly unaware of this prominent married couple's passionate secret liaisons during their lifetimes. On the level of world politics during the dangerous eras of economic collapse and global violence, the president entrusted his wife Eleanor with extraordinary secrets of war, which she handled under proxy powers. Her bhava-12 = Chandra-Budha-Mangala-Surya-vṛścika powerfully matches his vṛścika 10th navamsha + dashamamsha, showing that while their personal compatibility was dysfunctionally compromised by 6/8 Chandra positions, their ability to work as a team in high-threat global affairs was immensely functional. Budha * jamayah-karaka (sibling) * sandeza-karaka (message) * zisya-karaka (student)
Budha in bhava-4 rules 8-non-disclosur + 11-revenues Bantering Budha prefers a populist [Kumbha] approach to dealing with the masses (11) that is logical and strategic focused on signals, messaging, communications, evangelism, and teamwork. Shani-Budha bhukti * Budha randhresha 1921 extreme Paralysis after infection (later suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome) which crippled his lower body causing great suffering for the rest of his life. Shani-Ketu immediately following perenetly damaged his sense of balance (Ketu-7) Budha Mahadasha * age 45.8 until age 62.8 compounds the extreme psychological stress of secret negotiations during the WW-II years to the personal agony of needing to hide his extramarital loves Guru * dhava-karaka (husband) * bahuta-karaka (variety)

Eleanor's contribution to his life-path is both empowered politically (5) and soured personally (yuti nichha-Shani) Although their marriage became sexually and emotionally alienated due to FDR's betrayals, and devolved into a complex circle of multiple affairs-du-coeur for both partners, ER played a vitally important role for POTUS-32. Some historians refer to her as the second-in-command or second-president due to the extraordinary influence of her proxy roles during the long, long administrative era of POTUS-32. Shukra * svadu-karaka (sweet) * kalatra-karaka (wife)
Shukra activates 7-contactual promises, equity + 12-distant worlds, imagination, private environments Blessed Bhrigu occupies the revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra suggesting a misalignment between the influential and controlling mother Chandra-yuti-Mangala (8) versus the pragmatic, communicative wife Surya-yuti-Shukra (3) moudhya-dosha combust Shukra-Makara-Draco yuti Surya-Makara-Draco Shani * duro-karaka (endurance) * jara-karaka (years) Shani activates Svamsha

Nichha-Shani-6 karmic ignorance of the physicians. The muscle-paralyzing, painfully nerve-destroying syndrome which finally killed him was never correctly diagnosed and therefore never properly treated, leaving him in a state of chronic suffering covering 2 complete Guru cycles (24 years) from 1921 until death in 1945. Today this sudden-onset ailment would be diagnosed as a form of internal poisoning and treated as a variety of Toxic Shock Shani-yuti-Guru located in the intensely challenging 6/12 from R-K == 6th-from-Rahu + 12th-from-Ketu.

Shani Mahadasha * age 34.6 until age 53.6 Marriage challenges begin * Secret liaisons Starting soon after the birth of his sixth child, FDR lived under camouflage (Shani activates 8th-from-Chandra) of being happily married to a partner whom he admired only as a professional colleague, a sister-figure and a friend. Shani indicates obligatory responsibility to maintain the Social Order Generally, a papagraha in a dusthamsha yields beneficial results due to endurance and maturity of viewpoint. For all His high-pressure karma of blood-and-muscles on the physical plane and mental frustration leading to depression on the mental plane (Shani activates depression), FDR's nichha-Shani-6 may ultimately have helped to save the free world. He was forced to deal with some vicious personalities, including.
Shani Mahadasha 1916-1935 FDR was afflicted by many harsh effects of secrecy (Shani activates 8th-from-Chandra) ranging from the extreme psychological stress of secret negotiations during the WW-II years to the personal agony of needing to hide his extramarital loves under camouflage of being happily married to a woman he admired only as a sister and a friend . Guru ruler of 7th-from-Chandra represents the humanistic wife * Shani-yuti-Guru ER continued to personally support her paralyzed husband in social and functions until the end of Shani Mahadasha in 1935.After 1935 she lived independently. Yet during the next Budha Mahadasha, she held proxy negotiator powers, and despite their long-dead marriage, her "decoy" service may have helped to save the free world. The paralyzing (nichha-Shani, oppression of movement), supremely painful nerve-destroying illness which finally killed him was never correctly diagnosed * Shani owns and aspects diagnosis 3 The ailment was therefore never properly treated, leaving him in a state of hidden pain and suffering (8) for most of his presidential years. Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka (ambition) * picchala-karaka (slippery)

Accounts from the time say that FDR had promised his wife Eleanor Roosevelt never to see Lucy again. Yet, the hidden love-pair continued their relationship secretly for decades. It was FDR's own daughter Anna who called for Lucy when FDR was dying. Camouflaged from the society-eyes of Washington D.C., FDR died, aged 63, a physically [Mesha] broken man . Lucy Mercer had been Eleanor's personal secretary and therefore Lucy knew everyone in FDR's friends-and-family network. Eleanor was said to have been shocked and angered when informed that that Lucy had been summoned to FDR's bedside by daughter Anna. Public Shock Since its 1921 sudden onset, FDR's profound illness had been skillfully covered up (8) by his public relations handlers (3-public relations). Therefore news of his dematerialization on 12-Apr-1945 was met with utter shock and grief across the U.S. and around the world. The violence of these sudden endings threw much of the world into a state of terror (8). Yet Dwight D. Eisenhower orchestrated a successful conquest, celebrated as V-E Day, on 08-May-1945. This risky and untried maneuver posed a hugely uncertain gamble (Eisenhower has D-9 Mula Chandra, granting an acceptance of massive risk). It might have created massive destruction for the Allies. But it worked, showing the public some proof of the possibility of regeneration and rebirth after a time of awful fear. 18 days after FDR's decease, Germany-Nazi 1889-1945 Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler purportedly committed suicide on 30-Apr-1945.
